Poetry



presence


for Michael Seidenberg


holy affirming
holy reconciling
holy denying

holiness of love
devotional way to be
without transcendence

grounded in body
kneeling at the soul’s temple
integrating heart

vulnerable light
earth moon sun in alignment
trinity balance

offer and receive
yogi negotiation
gift of attention

how to love when all
you share with another can
generate within?

accept me fully
and i you, until there is
no i / you, just us

let thy will be done
pride’s armor lain at your feet
control surrendered

get busy loving
any time you’ve got is time
enough to blossom
